Though he was the host/narrator for the "CBS Radio Mystery Theater" from 1974 to 1981, he performed in only one episode of the show as Ebeneezer Scrooge in its version of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens in 1975 (which was repeated at Christmas time every year until the show's demise).

Although he was typecast as being straitlaced and businesslike, he was notorious for his wicked sense of humor and pulling pranks on his co-stars. While filming The Bold Ones: The New Doctors (1969), he often ad-libbed profane jokes and non-sequiturs while his lips were hidden by a surgical mask.

With over 150 Film and TV appearances to his credit, E. G. Marshall was arguably most well known as the imperturbable Juror No. 4 in the Sidney Lumet legal drama 12 Angry Men (1957).

Eisenhower in both Ike (1986) and War and Remembrance (1988) and the fictitious, unnamed President in Superman II (1980).

Biographical entries indicate that he attended Carleton College and the University of Minnesota. However, researchers after his death found that he was enrolled at Mechanic Arts High School in St. Paul in September 1932 as Everett E. Grunz, but there is no record of his having graduated. Archivists at Carleton College say there is no record of his ever attending that institution.
